The long-awaited and much-anticipated United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(aka COP15) has begun and The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning is playing a big part in the conference.
 
The United Nations Environment Programme has partnered with us to screen our film to more than 190 world leaders and 11,000 delegates attending this historic conference.
 
UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme, Achim Steiner said "Of all the canaries in the climate coal mine, the polar regions and the mountain glaciers are singing the hardest and the loudest. Mark Terry's new climate change documentary The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning underlines these realities with some of the latest and increasingly sobering scientific findings, providing further stark evidence as to why governments need to Seal the Deal in Copenhagen."
 
Our film launched its hectic screening schedule Dec. 3 premiering at The Climate Exchange, hosted by The Danish Society for Nature Conservation. At the Exchange cities, organizations and innovative enterprises from across the World will meet to share their local solutions to the global climate problems. The 4-day event is a prelude to the conference and is expected to attract 25,000 participants.
 
Our film is showing every day at 3:00 PM and on Dec. 6 at 2:00 PM with filmmaker Mark Terry speaking.
